This year’s students are Mikayla Sullivan & Haley Smith both of Louisville High School. Mikayla has been a student at WLCTC for two years. She studied Culinary Arts for two years and also attended Career Pathway Experience this year. Mikayla is described by her teacher as the type of student that any teacher would love to have. She is one who comes early and stays late. She has participated in various community service projects and has worked many hours outside of school helping with projects for the program. She competed in State competition this year for the FCCLA student organization, and she and her partner placed 2nd in the Chapter Service Project Display. Haley has attended WLCTC for two years in the Welding program. She has been very active in the SkillsUSA student organization where she competed in the Job Demonstration competition for two years.
